it’s hard to describe but its like a fullness or a dullness of my left chest. THere’s no pain just uncomfortable. I’ve had 2 EKG’s and all came back good and a blood test that looked good. Originally it started out on the right side of my chest but after a couple days went over to the left side. The doctor’s tell me it’s anxiety but my question is, what causes the discomfort in the chest from anxiety?
In a state of anxiety your sympathetic nervous system kicks in and a lot of changes happen throughout you body. Your blood vessels constrict, your heart beats faster and your respirarations increase. Your muscles tighten. All of these contribute to a sensation of chest tightness and discomfort. If you continue to have pain and don’t believe the cause is from anxiety, it’s always in your best interest to seek out a second opinion.

At the moment I am working on 50kg benchpress. I do 50 sets of 10 and have seen some improvement in the last two months. My last bar had 30kg and so i have improved. My body is quite big to gain muscle so I dont’t take any supplements and have a regualr diet with protien rich food. I want some tips on how regularly i shoud conduct these exercises? is it good to everyday or everyother day? or are there any restrictions or advice i should be aware of which may continue to benifit me for higher rate of muscle growth and gaining muscle mass in the chest area
You had already been reaching the 50kg level and you are just asking now…
It is good that you did not encounter any injury with that… You should not be doing any workout on a body part everyday, because they need rest for the recuperation of the muscles. If you do not give them a day off, they will not repair and they will not grow.
Try doing negatives, meaning emphasizing on the down motion and not the up motion of the bench press. You can also try the bench press with elevated or decline benches. It is ideal to vary your work out routines every so often, so that your body will not adapt to the stresses you induce on them.

Look around you today and study other people’s posture and you will discover a shocking scenario. The vast majority of adults are standing or walking incorrectly to the extent that they could be creating muscle trouble for themselves without knowing it. Too much slouching, shoulders hunched, chest inwards are all too obvious as people are unaware of the benefits of good posture.
If a person’s body is in good balance it can maintain good posture with minimal effort whereby all the muscles are working in harmony to support alignment. In comparison, a body out of balance will find it tires quickly when working to strengthen weaker muscles.
But why should a person wish to discover good posture and then be able to maintain it naturally? By being able to maintain this will assist you in counteracting the effects of gravity brought about by aging. If you’re using your muscles to sit and stand as tall as your skeletal frame permits, you will be able to counteract the worst of the aging process that involves shrinkage and thus a reduction in height. The second benefit is though little effort is required to maintain a good posture, it will far exceed the problems with your feet, knees, hips, back, shoulders and the neck that are a direct result of historic bad posture over many years.
A third and great hidden benefit of maintaining a good posture is quite simply that you are strengthening the body to achieve better health. It really is good to realise that by the simple task of sitting and standing correctly by adopting good posture, you will be benefitting your health. Think of it as a workout. Yet you do not have to attend the gym or copy the action on a fitness dvd, it is continuous as long as you maintain good body posture.
You will need to discover and start practicing the methods of good body posture and to then recognise the body position and feel when the correct posture is attained. This will assist you when at times, and during the early days it is only natural, your body posture slips back to the original positions that the body recognises but has been doing you damage over perhaps many years. In addition, there is a need to become familiar with the correct exercises within your daily routine that will have the effect of reinforcing good posture habits.
With the desire for better posture and the health benefits it brings, many more people are turning to pilates as a natural exercise programme that can be undertaken in their own home at their convenience, which concentrates on complete muscle toning and ensures that a good body posture becomes the norm.

I have A cup man boobs and am trying to get rid of them, but the info I have on weight lifting says you should just workout your chest once a week.
It depends………..
Where are you now in your training? If you’re just starting out, you’ve got to change some things still. You’ll need to adjust your diet to accommodate weight loss/muscle gain and the additional energy needed to a good solid workout.
The bottom line is muscle fatigue. Your muscles when you work out become stressed and rip, because your body lifted something heavy and of challenge. When the rips in your muscles heal, it creates new muscle tissue, which thus creates a larger muscle mass. The healing and downtime in lifting is just as important as the lifting itself. So make sure to not over due it!! Having that said you should be able to work up to doing chest and bicep lifts every other day at most.
For example, Lift chest and upper body on day 1. Do legs and more cardio day 2. Do chest and upper body on day 3. etc….. (you’ll get better results too if you change up what lifts you do, don’t always do the same lifts day after day!)
Hope this helps!!

What are good weight lifting chest exercises to lose man boobs?
I already do bench press a machine, and flys.
I know I should be doing more but I just dont know what is effective.
I already know I should manage my diet so I just want to know the most effective exercises.
Push ups;
at least 100 a day in sets of as many as you can do. do them with your hands a little wider than your shoulders.
Bicep Workouts; (preacher curls, pull ups, dumbbell curls)
this is to develop you biceps and fill in some of that loose skin
also do triceps; (skull crushers, triceps extension, etc.)
Work your back too ( i think pull ups develop it the most)
basically work all the muscles around the chest including the chest to fill in all the loose skin.
